“Prelude To Independence” At Williamsburg May 15 To July 4 Williamsburg, Va. Each year in order to remind men of our basic American concepts of liber ty and individual rights, Colonial Williamsburg commemorates the “Prelude to Independence" with a six-week celebration from May 15 to July 4. The six weeks represents a sim ilar period in colonial history that began May 15, 1776, with the Vir ginia Resolution for independence and concluded on July 4 with the Declaration of Independence. As a result of the dedicated legisla tive activity in this period, the United States was set on its course and the long months and years of heated debates, patriotic zeal and sometime indecision were resolved into action. Governor Flees During this period, the Virginia patriots set the pattern for self government based on individual liberties. The Virginia Conven tion of Delegates, meeting in Wil liamsburg as an interim govern ment following the flight of the British Royal Governor, produced the Virginia Resolutiap for Inde pendence, the Virginia Declara tion of Rights, and a “Plan of Government” or constitution. Williamsburg’s dramatic part in American independence is cele brated annually with a special ceremony on May 15 at the re constructed colonial Capitol. It was here in 1776 that the Virginia Convention instructed their dele gates to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia to declare the col onies “free and independent.” On the same day they unanimously passed two other resolutions es tablishing committees to draft a constitution and a declaration of rights. George Mason drafted the sec ond momentous document of the Prelude period the Virginia Declaration of Rights. One of the world’s foremost statements GARDEN TIME .C . State College Daffodils and tulips give us much pleasure in early spring and are to be found in most of our gardens. The question is: should they be taken up every year; every second year; or ev ery third year? It is not necessary to lift daffo dils every year but it is highly desirable that the bulbs be dug, divided, and replanted every third year. This gives them a better change to grow and re produce. If yours need to be moved, wait until the leaves be gin to turn yellow before dig ging. While the leaves are still green, they ■ are manufacturing food and storing it in the bulbs for next year’s flowers. They may be dug, divided and replant ed immediately, or they may be dried and stored in a cool place and held for fall planting. The tulip is' somewhat differ ent Bulbs should be taken up and replanted every second year. The bulbs may deteriorate rather rapidly and for this reason it is sometimes best to buy fresh bulbs every year if large flow ers are desired. If bulbs are to be replanted,’ do not dig them until the leaves turn yellow, as was the case with daffot^is. ; Bearded (German Iris) is blooming now in our neighbor hood and will be ready to di vide and transplant in about a JPlPPllisg mkW When it comes to building supplies, j we can meet all your needs “from the 111 ground up!"

Everything delivered right to of liberty, it became the parent of the' Federal Bill of Rights and influenced the wording of the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and many later democrat ic charters throughout the world including that of the United Na tions. This historic document* was adopted by the Virginia Con vention on June 12, 1776. Three Departments The Plan of Government, con sidered the first successful state < constitution, was drawn up “to maintain peace and order in the Colony and secure substantial and equal liberty to the People.” One of the most radical depart • ures from the “old order” under I the Crown made by the new con stitution was the separation of the courts and the executive body. The constitution provided three departments legislative,, execu tive and judicial each one sep arate and distinct “so that neith er exercises the powers properly belonging to the other.” This document became the model for other states and the Federal con stitution. Elect Patrick Henry On June 29, 1776, the delegates adopted the constitution and elected Patrick Henry the first governor of the new common wealth. Thus, before the Decla ration of Independence was draft ed, Virginia "had a functioning state government. Meanwhile Richard Henry Lee introduced the Virginia Resolu tion for Independence to the oth er members of the Continental Congnss in Philadelphia. In six short weeks that shook the world, 13 rebellious colonies had been transformed into 13 independent states. The course of freedom was set. Lester B.

However, plants may be divided and transplanted any time during the summer and early fall, A good division con sists of a new rhizome, or thick ened underground stem, with a cluster, or fan, of leaves. After the division has been made, the rhizome should be planted so that the top of it will be even with the soil. Deep planting is not desirable. Bearded Iris do ' best in well drained soils which dry rather quickly. Cool weather in the spring fre quently interferes with fruit setting on tomato plants. This is particularly true of the first two or three flower clusters that are formed. Hormones, or plant regulators, applied to these first clusters may give you earlier to matoes and more total produc tion. They may be purchased from your seedsman under the trade names of “Blossom Set” or “Fruitone”. If you want to ex periment, use one of these mate rials according to accompanying directions. Spray on the open blossoms with an atomizer of fine spray. “Every cloud has a silver lin ing.” After all of the severe weather and problems with sag ging coal, piles and dwindling oib supplies, summer has literal ly blown up in bur faces.

Azaleas, weeping cherries, crab apples and dogwood are in full bloom. Peaches have pol linated and are setting fruit and warm season vegetables are be ing planted. I am still keeping my fingers crossed but these are the facts. It is surprising how quickly sun and wind will dry out the top few inches of soil so don’t let your plants suffer for lack of water. If you have a spring planted lawn, be sure to keep it watered. Peaches should be sprayed when all of the petals have fallen and again' as the shucks begin to shed from the little fruits. Use an all-purpose peach spray, or six pounds of wettable sulphur plus four pound of malathion (25 per cent W. P.) to each 100 gallons of wa ter. Use the same spray for both the petal fall and shuck spray. Apply the first spray to bunch grapes as soon as the young shoots are about two inch es long and again when they are about 12 inches long. Use Bor deaux mixture both times. For scale on camellias, use white oil emulsion according to the manufacturers’ instructions. Sprays should contain one per cent actual oil for summer use. Malathion should take care of lace bugs and red spider mites on azaleas and camellias. If you use 25 per cent wettable powder, mix at the rate of two table spoons per gallon of water. If emulsifiable concentrates are used, follow instructions on the container. If you want to try Systox, be real careful and fol low instructions to the letter. Our roses are growing nicely and we have already sprayed them twice—a dormant clean-up and the first summer cover. The combined insecticidal and fungi cidal spray and dust materials are very satisfactory and easy to use. I prefer to spray because you get good coverage and the materials stick better, giving longer protection. MRS. LILLIE M.
